Opportunities

Signed in? Ask Lovelio this question inside the app - it answers from this same page.

Opportunities shows the new jobs at the companies you care about. Each consultant watches up to 200 companies: their clients, past clients, and the companies they want to win. Lovelio reads each company's careers page every night and lists every new job in your patch, so you hear about the role before the client briefs another agency. Lovelio never contacts a company. The consultant owns the call and the relationship.

The page has three tabs: Floats, Job leads (the companies you watch, counted by how many have new jobs), and Key movement. It opens on the tab you used last, or Floats the first time.

Job leads

One row per company you watch. The top line says what happened overnight, for example "Overnight, 3 companies posted 5 new jobs." Each row shows the company, whether it is a client or a prospect, its new jobs, the people in your database who fit them, where its float stands, and how many jobs are open on its careers page. People who fit shows the new job with the most people who fit. Float shows a draft waiting for you ("Ready to check"), a float you sent, or one a colleague sent. Companies with jobs new overnight sort first.

The filters above the list:

  • New jobs: companies with a job that is new this week. This is where the page opens when there is anything new.
  • All: every company you watch.
  • Found by Lovelio: companies Lovelio added for you, each with the reason, for example "12 of your candidates work here", "4 placements, last in March 2025", "like your client Acme" or "in your patch".
  • Needs a careers link: companies where Lovelio found no careers page, or the site stopped Lovelio reading it.

Search finds one company by name or website. The meter at the top shows how many of your 200 places are used.

How new is worked out

The first read of a company sets the starting point, so the jobs already open that day are counted as open but never shown as new. After that, a job is new to you when it first appears after you started watching, and it stays new for 7 days. "New today" means it first appeared in the last 24 hours. A job counts as gone once it has been missing from the careers page for three days. A night when the page could not be read changes nothing.

New jobs stay in your patch

When your agency has a patch, a new job only counts as new when it fits the patch, or is very close to it. The Job leads list, the New jobs count, People who fit and the drafted floats all use only these jobs.

  • Roles: the job title names one of the patch's roles, or a title Lovelio knows means the same job (for example "Business Development Representative" for BDR).
  • Where: the job is in a country, state or town the patch names, or within 50 km past the usual edge of a patch town. A job that only says "Australia" or "NSW" counts when your patch town is inside it.
  • Never: a job that matches something the patch says you never do, for example "temp", is left out.
  • Sectors and seniority are not checked job by job. You chose to watch the company, and job titles rarely say the level.

A job Lovelio cannot read, with no location, "Remote", or a title it cannot make sense of, still shows. Lovelio never hides a job for a reason you cannot see. With no patch, every new job shows.

Nothing is hidden for good: open a company and its Still open tab lists the new jobs outside your patch, each with Create job. Change your patch and the list follows it the next time the page loads.

Opening a company

Click a row to open the company. The header shows the company, where it is in your list ("2 of 9", with arrows to step to the next), a pill saying what is new, and the one or two things worth doing now: Review float when a draft is waiting, Draft a float when people fit a new job, and Create the job. The ⋯ menu opens the client record, opens their careers page, or stops watching.

Down the left are the facts: whether they are a client (placements, fees this year and when you last placed) or a prospect, who you last worked with there, their careers page (how many jobs are open and when Lovelio last read it), and the watch itself, with Stop watching. The links in the facts open their tabs: "7 placements ›" opens Placements and "3 contacts ›" opens Contacts. On a prospect, "Your candidates there" counts the people in your database who work there now, and "See who ›" opens them.

On the right are the tabs. New job ads shows each new job with who in your database fits the ad, Draft a float, Create job and View the ad. Still open lists every other job on their careers page, with the date Lovelio first saw it and a Create job button, so a company you added today can be worked today. Floats lists the floats for this company, the ones waiting for you first; click one to open it. Placements (clients only) and Contacts are the same grids as the client record, so they read and work the same in both places. Contacts on a prospect opens on Works here: the people in your database who work there now. "Make a contact" makes them a contact and makes the company a client at the same moment. Key movement shows contacts and candidates at this client who moved or were promoted. Timeline tells the story since you started watching: jobs posted, floats sent. A company you add by pasting its website shows under its real name straight away.

Create job makes a job in Lovelio from the ad. The ad's words become the job description, and you can edit the job afterwards. If the company is a prospect, it becomes a client at the same moment, so the job has a client to belong to. Creating the same ad twice opens the job you already made.

When a company needs a careers link, paste the link to the page where they list jobs and click Save link. Lovelio reads that page straight away and uses it every night after. If Lovelio finds no careers page, or their site stops it reading three nights running, it stops trying and asks you for the link instead of retrying every night. If the saved link stops working, Lovelio looks for the careers page again on its own before it asks. You can only save a link while Lovelio needs one.

Draft floats from a new job

Outside Australia and New Zealand the same buttons and columns say spec instead of float.

For every new job, Lovelio reads the ad and runs the same search as a job: the title, skills, location and seniority the ad asks for. The job card says how many people fit, names the first few, and See them lists the top five with what each matched. People who work at that company are left out, because a float never goes to someone's own employer. The card says how many were left out.

Draft a float picks the best five, writes each an anonymous profile, picks the contact at the company and drafts the email. It opens for you to check. Lovelio drafts it for you overnight when a new job has people who fit, so most new jobs already say "Ready to check" in the morning. It never drafts one you discarded, and a draft that waits for your AI allowance is drafted the next night. Tick and untick people (five is the most one float carries), choose who it goes to, and change the subject or the email. Until you change the email, it follows who is in the float. A prospect with no contacts shows a form to add the person who hires; adding them makes the company a client.

Send float sends one email with the profiles as one link, without names or employers, and your terms of business linked. It then sits on the Floats tab like any float. Keep for later leaves the draft ready on the row. Discard draft throws it away, and you can draft again. Lovelio never sends a float on its own; a person always presses Send float. When a colleague has already floated people for the same ad, the card says so and Lovelio does not draft a second one.

Adding and stopping

Add companies opens a list of your clients, most placements first, so your past placement clients lead. Type a name or website to search every client. Tick the ones to watch, or paste the websites of companies that are not clients yet, one per line. A client with no website on its record cannot be watched until you add one. Lovelio reads new companies' careers pages straight away.

You can also ask Lovelio, for example "watch the careers pages of my clients Acme and Birch" or "watch careers.example.com".

From the Chrome extension: open it on any job ad and click Watch this company. Lovelio finds the company's website from your clients, the page you are on, or companies it already knows, and asks you to paste it only when it cannot.

Stop watching works on one company from its menu or its panel, or on many at once: tick them and use Stop watching on the bar at the bottom. Undo puts them back.

Found by Lovelio

Each night Lovelio adds companies from your agency's own data: the companies where two or more of your candidates work now, and the clients your agency has placed with. The ones with the most of your people inside come first, then the most placements, then the most recent. Your own agency is never suggested, and a company needs a website Lovelio is sure of before it is added. It only fills up to 150 of your 200 places, so there is always room for your own, and adds no more than 25 a night. A company Lovelio suggested and you stopped is never suggested to you again. Adding it yourself later starts watching it again, and new jobs count from that day.

When an agency says yes to help with new business development in sign-up, Lovelio also looks once for companies like the agency's first clients and companies inside its patch, using the same search as Find new clients, and adds up to 12 to the watch list of the person who answered. Each says why, for example "like your client Acme" or "in your patch". Your exclusions are left out. It runs once per agency, a couple of minutes after the answer. From then on their new jobs show like any other, with a float drafted overnight for you to check and send.

Lovelio reads careers pages only, not job boards. Your watch list is your own; other consultants in your agency keep their own lists. The Opportunities count in the sidebar is the number of companies you watch with a new job this week, plus the Key movement rows still waiting for you (the same number as the Key movement tab).

Floats

The Floats tab is the full grid of candidates you have floated to clients. Active floats also live on the Home money belt. How many floats each consultant and team sent, and how many became jobs, is the Floats card on the Analytics page.

Key movement

Key movement lists people your agency already knows who have just done something you should act on: someone you placed, submitted or floated before applying to one of your jobs, someone you placed or submitted in the last 6 months whose LinkedIn shows a new company or a new title, a client contact you have worked with moving to a new company, or a client contact getting a new title.

Lovelio checks, once a month using their LinkedIn profile, the client contacts you have submitted to or floated to, and everyone you placed, submitted or floated in the last 6 months, and the tab says when it last checked. If a contact has no LinkedIn URL on their record, Lovelio looks for one by their name at the client, and saves it only when it is sure: exactly one person with that name comes back, or a second people database Lovelio asks when the first has no answer finds the same name at the client's website domain. A URL you typed is never changed. When a profile check finds no current employer, the second database is asked too, so fewer moves are missed. Someone it cannot find for sure is tried again in six months. A new CV for that person, or a LinkedIn visit with the Chrome extension, is checked straight away. Candidates you last worked with more than 6 months ago are not checked.

A candidate who moved shows where they are now ("Now Finance Manager at Beta Health"), where they were ("Was Accountant at Acme"), and your history with them ("Placed at Acme by us, Mar 2025" or "Submitted 3 times: Acme, Birch"). A new title at the same company shows the new and old title. Open candidate opens their record. Whoever placed or last sent them gets a notification. A candidate who is also a client contact you work with shows as a contact instead, and a candidate who now works at a client you sent them to shows as a possible lost fee on the Placements tab instead, so nothing shows twice.

A contact who moved shows who they were at ("Was at Acme"), where they are now ("Now Head of Talent at Beta Health"), and how much you have worked together ("You sent Sarah 9 candidates on 4 jobs"). Follow adds them as a contact at the new company, and adds that company as a client if it is not one yet. The old contact stays on the old client as history, marked Moved on, and nothing is sent to it again. A new title shows the new and old title and your last placement at that client, or when your next placement there starts if one is still ahead; Open contact opens them on the client's Contacts tab. The client's recruiters get a notification too.

Each row shows the person, what happened (for example "Applied to Senior Accountant"), why they matter (for example "Placed at Acme by us, Mar 2025" or "Submitted 3 times: Acme, Birch"), when, and one button: Open application opens their deal file, Follow follows a contact who moved, Open contact opens a contact with a new title, Open candidate opens a candidate who moved. The filters are Everything, Contacts who moved, Candidates who moved and People we know applying.

Rows clear themselves. Once you mark the applicant Yes, Maybe or No, follow the contact, update their title, or open a candidate who moved, the row leaves the list, so the number on the tab is what is still waiting. Dismiss, under the row's menu, clears one by hand. You see the rows for the jobs you can see, like every other list.

Until your agency has its first real key movement, the tab shows five example rows with an Example label, so you can see what each kind looks like. Click one to see why it showed up and what its button does on a real one; Follow and Mark as handled work on an example, but nothing is saved and nobody is contacted. Clear examples removes them all, and the X beside a name removes one, both with Undo. The first real movement replaces them for good.

Every Key movement notification opens the Key movement tab with that row at the top, highlighted, so you act on it from the list; the row's button then opens the application, contact or candidate. If the row was already handled, the tab says so. The job's owner gets the notification when someone we know applies, and on the job's Candidates tab the person carries a green "Placed by us" or blue "Submitted before" label. A job's own shortlist never counts: being submitted to this job is the process on screen, not history. Internal hiring through your own agency never counts either. Key movement is included on every plan and costs nothing extra.

Common questions

  • Why is a company showing "First read under way"? Lovelio is reading its careers page for the first time. New jobs show from the next night.
  • Why does a company need a careers link? Lovelio could not find a careers page on its website, or the site stopped Lovelio reading it three times in a row. Paste the link and Lovelio reads it straight away.
  • Can Lovelio email the company? Only when you press Send float. Lovelio finds the job, finds who fits and drafts the float overnight; the consultant checks it and decides whether it goes.
  • Can an AI agent use Opportunities? Yes, through the API and MCP. An agent can read your job leads, each company's new jobs and who fits them, the floats waiting for you and Key movement, and it can draft, change or discard a float. It can never send one: Send float is always a person's click on this page.
  • Why did companies I never added appear after sign-up? You said yes to help with new business development. Lovelio found companies like your first clients and inside your patch, once. Stop watching any you do not want and they are never added again.
  • Why is a new job I can see on their careers page not in New jobs? It is outside your patch: a role or a place the patch does not cover, or something it says you never do. Open the company and click "new jobs outside your patch" to see it.
  • Why does a new job say nobody fits? Nobody in your database matches what the ad asks for yet. Lovelio looks again every night while the job is new.
  • Why is someone missing from People who fit? They work at that company. A float never goes to someone's own employer.
  • Where did the Inbox and the Weekly pulse go? They were replaced by the careers watch in September 2026. Stored reports live under Analytics > Reports.
  • Where did New business go? It became Opportunities. Old links redirect to the correct new destination.
